[PJUG Javamail] JSF question

[Zack Radick]

Mike,
It depends on what libraries you are using for your JSF.  If you are 
using RichFaces and Ajax4JSF, I would suggest simply re-rendering the 
appropriate region after calling your backing-bean 
function.  However, assuming your backing-bean scope is "request" (or 
that you re-set the values of the fields for your checkbox initial 
states if not) then it should work to simply reload the page.  There 
are many ways to do things with JSF, especially once you add in an 
Ajax enabled framework to the picture (assuming you can also use JS of course).
Cheers,
--Zack
